    1781 - 1941 A Walk in the Shadow of Our History By Alfred Opp, Vancouver, British Columbia Edited by Connie Dahlke, Walla Walla, Washington For centuries, Europe was a hornet's nest - one poke at it and everyone got stung. Our ancestors were in the thick of it. They were the ones who suffered through the constant upheavals that tore Europe apart. While the history books tell the broad story, they can't begin to tell the individual stories of all those who lived through those tough times. And often-times, the people at the local level had no clue as to the reasons for the turmoil nor how to get away from it. People in the 18th century were duped just as we were in 1940 when we were promised a place in the Fatherland to call home. My ancestor Konrad Link went with his parents from South Germany to East Prussia”Poland in 1781. Poland as a nation had been squeezed out of existence by Austria, Russia and Prussia. The area to which the Link family migrated was then considered part of their homeland - Germany. At that time, most of northern Germany was called Prussia. The river Weichsel “Vitsula” divided the newly enlarged region of Prussia into West Prussia and East Prussia. The Prussian Kaiser followed the plan of bringing new settlers into the territory to create a culture and society that would be more productive and successful. The plan worked well for some time. Then Napoleon began marching against his neighbors with the goal of controlling all of Europe.

  • Common Reed for Thatching in Northern Germany: Estimating the Market Potential of Reed of Regional Origin
    resources Article Common Reed for Thatching in Northern Germany: Estimating the Market Potential of Reed of Regional Origin Lea Becker, Sabine Wichmann and Volker Beckmann * Faculty of Law and Economics & Institute of Botany and Landscape Ecology, University of Greifswald, Soldmannstr. 15, D-17489 Greifswald, Germany; [email protected] (L.B.); [email protected] (S.W.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +49-3834-420-4122 Received: 1 October 2020; Accepted: 12 December 2020; Published: 16 December 2020 Abstract: Reed has a long tradition as locally available thatching material, but nowadays thatch is a globally traded commodity. Germany and other major importing countries such as the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Denmark rely on high import rates to meet the national consumption. This study aimed at providing a detailed picture of the thatching reed market in Northern Germany and at assessing the market potential for reed of regional origin. A written survey among all thatchers in Northern Germany was carried out in 2019, arriving at an effective sample of 47 out of 141 companies. The results revealed that for the responding companies the majority of the reed (59%) was used for rethatching roofs completely, 24% for newly constructed roofs, and 17% for roof repairs. Reed from Germany held a low share of 17% of the total consumption in 2018. Own reed harvesting was conducted by less than 9% of the responding companies and given up during the last decades by another 26%. The total market volume of reed for thatching in Northern Germany was estimated for 2018 with a 95% confidence interval at 3 0.8 million bundles of reed with a monetary value at ± sales prices of ¿11.6 2.8 million.

While there was no formal postal service at this time, the German Hanseatic towns had a messenger service from Hamburg via Lübeck, Rostock, Stettin, Danzig and Königsberg to Riga, and this may have been the service used to carry this letter. RPSL Denmark and the Duchy of Schleswig 1587-1920 The Duchy of Schleswig: Background Speed/Kaerius, 1666-68, from “A Prospect of the Most Famous Parts of the World” The Duchies of Slesvig (Schleswig in German) and Holstein were associated with the Danish Crown from the 15th century, until the Second Schleswig War of 1864 and the seizure by Prussia and Austria. From around 1830 sections of the population began to identify with German or Danish nationality and political movements followed. In Denmark, the National Liberal Party used the Schleswig question as part of their programme and demanded that the Duchy be incorporated in the Danish kingdom under the slogan “Denmark to the Eider". This caused a conflict between Denmark and the German states, which led to the Schleswig-Holstein Question of the 19th century. When the National Liberals came to power in Denmark, in 1848, it provoked an uprising of ethnic Germans who supported Schleswig's ties with Holstein. This led to the First Schleswig War. Denmark was victorious, although more through politics than strength of arms.

  • Modern Germany Albrecht Ritschl Reform After the French Wars The
    Modern Germany Albrecht Ritschl Reform after the French Wars The French wars (1792-1815) radically altered the political map of Germany. They led to the dissolution of myriads of mostly ecclesiastical micro-territories, brought down the Holy Roman Empire, and triggered legal and social reforms on a large scale. Traditional historiography (as Nipperdey, 1994) has tended to regard Napoleon’s impact as decisive for Germany’s modernization in the 19th century. Under French occupation, feudal structures were uprooted, French civil law was introduced or imitated, and a customs barrier was erected that isolated Germany from England while the wars lasted. However, even prior to the French Revolution, Germany had been less static than it often seems. In the second half of the 18th century, industrialization gradually took hold in the commercially advanced regions along the Rhine river and in Saxony (Pollard, 1981). Population size had just recovered the losses from the Thirty Years War and kept growing steadily. Still, institutional reform advanced only slowly, with the Prussian Civil Code of 1794 and the Josefinian reforms in the Habsburg monarchy as the major exceptions. The pace of reform changed after Prussia’s defeat against France in 1806. Between 1806 and 1810, Prussia abandoned the guild system, introduced free enterprise, freed its peasantry, and reshaped its administrative system. Entry exams for Prussia’s higher civil service were created that included Adam Smith in the list of required readings. An era of economic liberalism began that lasted into the 1870s. Economic and institutional reform elsewhere in Germany often proceeded more cautiously. West of the Elbe river, liberation of the peasantry was less of an issue, as in many regions, the manor system hardly consisted in more than rental payments for farmers and in – usually detailed and restrictive – entitlements to the use of the village commons.

  • Intensive Dairy Farming in Northern Germany: Development and Impact of the New Fertilizer Act
    Intensive Dairy Farming in Northern Germany: Development and Impact of the New Fertilizer Act Annotation: Germany, the largest milk producer in the European Union, increased milk production by 15.1% from 2007 to 2015. In 2015 intensive production regions with a milk production of more than 2,000 kg/ha contributed 59.8% to the German milk production whereby they represented 69.9% of the growth in German milk production from 2010 to 2015. The area of grassland and area of maize silage have a high positive and significant correlation with milk production. The regression model (R²: 0.832) indicates the strong influence of these variables on milk production. Indeed data of twelve farms from an intensive production region show that fast grown farms get to limits due to the greening regulations on crop rotation and the nitrates limit of 170 kg/ha from manure of animal origin of the New Fertilizer Act. This will lead to increasing demand for land and the need of exporting nutrients to less intensive regions which will increase the costs of milk production. Key words: Milk Production, Dairy Farming, Fertilizer Act, Germany, Grassland, Limiting Factor, Maize Silage JEL classification: Q12, Q18 1. Introduction The European Union is the largest milk producer in the world. In 2015, European milk production amounted to 162.6 m tons, which is 24.4% of world milk production. Germany is the largest milk producer in the European Union with a production of 32.7 m tons in 2015, or 20.1% of European milk production (Zentrale Milchmarkt Berichterstattung ZMB 2016).

We feel the findings are nonetheless important and compelling, revealing critical good practices and challenges with refugee integration. Additionally, a localized perspective was achieved through the depth of the connection to Hamburg by MIT’s International Service and Technology Initiative. To build on this report’s preliminary findings, RIT is conducting ongoing localized research with refugees in Hamburg and other towns in Germany and the EU. This work is a case study of the Refugees in Towns (RIT) Project of the Feinstein International Center (FIC) at the Tufts University Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy, and benefitted from the contributions and support of many individuals and organizations. The case study was developed, conducted, and written by Jessica Sadye Wolff, a second year Master of City Planning student in MIT’s Department of Urban Studies and Planning.
